DDD Transition Workshops & Speaking Engagements
Is your school, organization, or family support group helping individuals prepare for life after high school? DS&A offers informative workshops to guide families through the transition from school-based services into New Jersey’s Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD).
Our Roadmap to DDD sessions are designed to simplify a complex process. We guide families through what to expect when a child approaches age 18, including:
-
Understanding DDD eligibility and application steps
-
Key transition timelines and age-based milestones
-
Available adult services and how to access them
-
Preparing for a smooth handoff from school supports to state-funded services
These sessions are ideal for IEP nights, parent support meetings, community programs, and advocacy organizations looking to empower families with actionable guidance.
